I LOVE BOTANICAL DRAWINGS AND RECENTLY PURCHASED A FABULOUS BOOK FROM KEW GARDENS WITH THE
MOST WONDERFUL ILLUSTRATIONS. THERE IS A PAGE WITHIN THE BOOK THAT FEATURES SUNFLOWERS,
HELLEBORES AND OPIUM POPPY SEED HEADS AND IT MADE ME THINK OF THE FIELDS OF SUNFLOWERS
WE WALKED THROUGH ON A LOVELY FRENCH HOLIDAY A FEW YEARS AGO.
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED SUNFLOWERS WITH ALL OF THEIR CONNOTATIONS TO HEAT AND SUNSHINE AND
VINCENT VAN GOGH, WHOSE SERIES OF SUNFLOWER STILL LIFE STUDIES ARE INFAMOUS, SAW THESE
STUNNING FLOWERS AS A SYMBOL OF FRIENDSHIP AND GRATITUDE, SO USING THEM AS THE
INSPIRATION FOR A NEW DESIGN WAS INEVITABLE, AND AS WILD POPPIES ARE COMMONPLACE
IN FIELDS OF SUNFLOWERS, IT WAS LOGICAL THAT THIS DESIGN SHOULD FEATURE THEM TOO.
THE KIT CONTAINS THE YARN LISTED BELOW PLUS PRINTED PATTERN & JANIE CROW SEW IN LABEL
YOU CAN PURCHASE THE PAPER BROCHURE PATTERN OR A YARN KIT HERE OR
OPT FOR A DOWNLOAD VERSION VIA RAVELRY OR ETSY
